Description

This is a complete redesign of my original dragon egg, started over from scratch. It features much more uniform scale position, and no more warnings or wobbly lower layers! The threading is identical to the original profile.

There are four different versions of the egg:

A large threaded egg with thin walls (for printing as-is or scaling up)
A large threaded egg with thick walls (for printing as-is or scaling down)
A small hollow egg (one piece) for printing as-is or scaling up
A small solid egg (one piece) for printing as-is or scaling down

All four designs are included as different plates on one profile.

As designed, the large egg will hold one of McGybeer's articulated dragons. However it's a pretty snug fit, if you are making this for a small child who will want to pack it back into the egg you may wish to print the thin-walled egg scaled up a bit. A print profile for this is included - it's the “scaled to 100mm” profile.

The threads will line up the design perfectly if printed accurately. Some filaments are a bit “stickier” than others, it may take one or two opening / closing attempts to get it to move smoothly - particularly with silk PLA.

If you are printing the threaded version with a dual color / coextruded filament it is crucial that you not rotate the parts at all on the build plate, or else the colors won't line up.

This model is free for personal use. Commercial use of this design requires a license. Licensing information is available on my Thangs account.

printed the 100mm profile at and am able to fit a 70% cinderwing gemstone adult dragon in there. It’s snug, but fits. I’m going to try at 105% next and I think that will be a bit better for it. But mostly, this thing is gorgeous in this tricolor matte PLA 😍

@ktankinfinity

What filament did you use in the images, it looks amazing

I got it off of Amazon! ZIRO PLA Filament Matte, Tri-Colors 3-in-1 Coextrusion, Rosy Cloud I love it!

what size would you recommend for the 100% version?

I scaled it up as much as I could while still fitting both halves on a single P1S plate. Turned out absolutely awesome!

I believe both models are from Cinderwing

This egg looks awesome in Bambus dual PLA Silk, however, both eggs I printed had a issue with the bottom layers of the egg seperating from the main body. It's a real shame because the bottom does not look good this way. Looking at the slicer it looks like it's tring to print nearly a empty layer of infill (5% gyroid), on layer 4. This is why the bottom is not adhering to the body. The designer print profile is causing the problem. If you change bottom shell layers in your print profile to 4, instead of the now 3 this will resolve the issue. I made this setting and re-sliced and there is no more infill on the bottom layers.

@dabilee01

I came across this issue too. Do you mind sharing the settings you used to ultimately get this to print correctly?

Replying to @dabilee01 :

I think we just left it. but you should be able to slice off couple of layers with the bambu studio tool to split body

printed out amazing in the dual color pla silk. used a very fine layer height and 50% speed to try and get as glossy as possible finish

@dabilee01

Which color filament is this? Gilded Rose?

This was my second print ever. It went well and I’m happy with it.

@user_1395789078

I have the P1S and this was my second print. I'm new to 3D printing and it turned out exactly how I wanted it to. Today I'm figuring out Bambu Studio, I've scaled it down to make it a little smaller and I'm printing 2 of them at the same time. Thanks for creating a great pattern.

Absolutely love this print, great on the A1 mini with a dual filament. Also the pattern on the bottom is really nice touch. Threads well no issues and matches up lovely.

@user_3212731538

And you made no changes

@kaliforniakid11

so, i printed this on my A1 not sure what I'm doing wrong or if i did something wrong came out amazing but it does not screw together not sure if anyone can help with that issue

The designer has replied

@SprocketStudios

is the problem that it's not aligning, or will it not screw together at all? also, maybe a silly question but did you remove the brim inside the top half?
